HC Deb 17 November 1969 vol 791 c201W
94. Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Technology what is the cost of the conversions of the three million appliances in Scotland arising from the advent of North Sea gas; and when the completion date is expected.

Mr. Alan Williams

Conversion is due to begin next year and could take between eight and ten years. It is too early to say how the original estimate of £30 million at 1966 cost levels will be affected by the factors referred to in my reply to the hon. Member for Orpington (Mr. Lubbock) on 21st October.—[Vol. 788; c. 227.]
